Excerpt: LDS patriarch pens evolution book by Duane Jeffery, correspondent, Herald Extra--
Howard Stutz ...Mormonism's first formally trained evolutionary geneticist, head of academic departments at two different institutions of higher learning ...Brigham Young University faculty member, Latter-day Saint high councilor, bishop and stake patriarch ...
The book is titled "Let the Earth Bring Forth — Evolution and Scripture
" and is available from Kofford Books (Salt Lake City) and the usual LDS book outlets. ...His book covers many ... evolutionary matters from both animals and plants: comparative anatomy, geographical distribution, embryology and other speciation mechanisms. But none illustrate his title so clearly as his own work with native American plants.
The book is written for a general audience and should be of interest to all students of "evolution and scripture."
∫ Duane Jeffery is an emeritus professor of biology at Brigham Young University.
